About 29,000

That's how many Chevrolet Cruzes that General Motors is recalling because of a potential air-bag problem. The parts were supplied by Japan's Takata Corp., according to GM, which lifted an order with dealers this week to stop selling all 2013 and 2014 Cruzes after the specific cars were identified. GM is intensifying efforts to ensure vehicles are safe after a slow recall of 2.6 million compact cars linked to at least 13 deaths. Page C5

That's the message some Google customers in the European Union are getting after they used the Mountain View company's search engine to find references to people who have sought the "right to be forgotten."

To qualify for exclusion, Google said the personal information needs to be "inadequate, irrelevant, no longer relevant, or excessive." Page C6
